The linguist János Harmatta reconstructed this original Cimmerian name as , meaning "giving happiness." The Iranologist Ľubomír Novák has noted that the attestation of the name in the forms and in Akkadian and the forms and in Greek shows that its first consonant had experienced the change of the sound /d/ to /l/, which is consistent with the phonetic changes attested in the Scythian languages.
